Dinner was a quiet affair with friendly banter betweens the four friends around the table as Grace played on a rug near the table where Calleigh could keep an eye on her niece.
Tim "So your brother his younger then you isn't he."
Calleigh smiled at Tim nodding "Yes eight years younger I took care of him because by the time Robert was born my parents were both constantly drunk. Robert was eight when I left home and his twenty now to young to have a baby but she's here now so he has to raise her."
Horatio "yes he does and who could not want Grace."
Calleigh picked her niece up "Well I should lay -"There was a knock on the door and Calleigh passed Grace to Tim who immediate tried to pass Grace to Eric.
Eric shook his head "Just hold her man she's not crying yet."
Calleigh entered the kitchen with a man behind her. The man was tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. "Horatio, Eric, Tim this is my brother Robert"
Robert nodded "Nice to meet you Cal I need you to take care of Grace for now."
Calleigh shook her head "For now Robert how long is for now. She is your daughter and you need to take car of her."
Robert shook his head "I can't Calleigh I'm sorry but I can't"
Calleigh glared at her brother "But you could get Graces mother pregnant you have to be this little girls father."
Robert "Dad could get mum pregnant that didn't make him a father and I'm just like dad Cal. I have to get sober before I take on Grace and I 'm sorry." Calleigh shook her head walking away "you've been clean for a year take the time you need Robert but Grace is still your daughter she's not mine."
Robert left the house as Calleigh took Grace from Tim "His been sober for a year and his back drinking again."
Horatio touched Calleigh's arm "Will he be ok."
Calleigh stared at her boss "I don't know I hope so but he has to do this by himself and he knows that. He also knows I'll pick up the pieces of his life for him."
Tim "Calleigh his an adult he can take care of himself Grace can't you need to protect your niece. Now we should go and Let you get Grace to work and if you ever need a babysitter you've got Delkos number."
Calleigh laughed, "Yes I do thank you."
Calleigh showed her friends out and Horatio stopped in the doorway rubbing Graces back as she wriggled in her aunts' arms "If you need to bring Grace in tomorrow its no problem."
Calleigh nodded "thanks."
